Public Consultation
Welcome to the consultation website for Muller Property Group’s proposals for new homes on land west of Moorsfield Avenue in Audlem.
The pre-application public consultation ran from Monday 24th March until Monday 14th April 2024. Thank you to everyone who provided comments.
You can continue to get in touch with any questions via the Get In Touch Page.
Muller Property Group will be holding a public meeting with local residents take place on Thursday 24th April, at 6 pm at Audlem Methodist Church, Audlem.
This is a chance for residents to ask any questions about the proposals for new homes in Audlem.
This consultation is an opportunity for local residents and stakeholders to review and provide feedback on the proposed development on land west of Moorsfield Avenue, Audlem. We encourage you to explore the vision, proposals, and benefits of the project and share your views with us by Monday 14th April via our Have Your Say form.
Muller Property Group is preparing an Outline planning application for up to 127 high-quality homes in a range of sizes and tenures, catering to diverse housing needs, with a 30% affordable homes provision.
The masterplan is landscape-led, preserving the vast majority of existing trees and hedgerows while introducing new planting to enhance the natural environment. A new country park will provide recreational opportunities for current and future residents, whilst contributing to local biodiversity.
Thoughtfully designed public spaces, green corridors, and improved pedestrian connections will enhance accessibility to previously restricted open spaces and link the development to the village and surrounding areas.
Our Outline planning application is designed to meet the local needs of residents while respecting the local character. This website provides an overview of our initial proposals and allows you to share your thoughts before we submit our application.
The plans for Moorsfield Avenue are still at an early stage, with a holistic outline application now being prepared. Feedback from this consultation will help to shape the emerging outline plans prior to the outline planning application being submitted.
An outline planning application establishes the broad principles of development, such as access arrangements, illustrative concept layout, number of homes and general extent of development.
When an outline planning application is submitted to the local planning authority (in this case Cheshire East Council) it is then subject to a formal consultation called a Statutory Consultation.
This includes consultation with a range of statutory consultees such as the local NHS Integrated Care Board, the local education authority, the lead local flood authority, Natural England, local and national highways authorities, local town and parish councils, and many others, as well as the wider community.
If outline planning consent is granted, a detailed planning application called Reserved Matters planning application would be prepared. The planning application would include more detail such as architecture, materials, detailed layout and landscaping, and would be subject to further consultation with the local community before being submitted for determination. As with an outline planning application, Reserved Matters applications are also subject to Statutory Consultation.
Overall, the process can take a number of years between an outline planning application being submitted and development commencing on site. We have set out a rough guide to anticipated timescales in the timeline at the bottom of this page, however it is important to note that this is approximate and is very much dependent on local planning authority timescales and matters arising during statutory consultation.
We want to ensure that the emerging proposals for Moorsfield Avenue align as much as possible with the priorities and aspirations of the community in Audlem and the surrounding area.
Muller Property Group have created this website to provide an opportunity for members of the community to view the emerging masterplan and provide feedback on your priorities and aspirations for new homes, open spaces and facilities in Audlem to help shape a development that meets the needs of the community now and in the future.
Once you have had an opportunity to read an overview of the proposals, and view the site for Moorsfield Avenue, please take a few minutes to provide feedback via our Have Your Say form.
There is a well-documented housing shortage across the UK, and Councils are required to allocate land to meet local housing needs.
Cheshire East Council is currently unable to demonstrate an adequate supply of housing, highlighting the need for well-planned, sustainable development.
Our proposals contribute to meeting this demand, delivering high-quality homes while enhancing the local area.
